"Pierre Hybre explores teenage and does it in a very intimate manner. He chose to take pictures of young girls and boys jut as they are, exploring the world of rock’n’roll and Parisian youth, photographing a quest for identity. Paris, from 2006 to 2008."

"Lumi : Snow was shot between 2010 and 2011 in Helsinki, Finland. It was inspired by the snowiest winter in 100 years. The book aims to approach snow as a sensitive, independent and reflecting entity."

"The project is in essence a tour of image making. Mann records various aspects of Belfast cityscapes with fellow photographer Donovan Wylie continuously visible in almost every frame. The book presents an interesting look at Belfast’s recent history and at the same time an insight into the Magnum photographer Wylie's ongoing project to photograph its changing architecture."

"'We have crossed many states of mind when photographs unfold in front of our eyes, revealing, in the appearance of their subject, a familiar strangeness. These states push the familiar into the realm of the uncanny. Under the influence of the shift, the slide, the disorder of the senses, what is known and has been long familiar switches and blurs. Our perception flickers and a gap opens in the real world: The illusion of peace.' - Jacques Damez"

"A Place to Stake is a series of photographs that I took during my various camping adventures, from 2008-2011. It's an exploration of our sense of "place" and the urges one has to discover and posses his/her surroundings."

"Thereafter is a book of 22 photographs about coming to terms with the unanswerable consequences of a violent crime, one in which the details won’t ever be known, and where an unwanted acceptance is all that lives on as told through images of the Oregon landscape. It is Dale Schreiner's first book, completely handmade with subtlety toned prints on Moab rag paper, case-bound, with a short letterpress printed accompanying text by the artist."

"The award-winning project PLAYGROUND of photographer Jeroen Hofman portrays Dutch training grounds where the Fire Department, the Police and the Military are trained in realistic scenarios. In surrealistic ghost towns the emergency services try to prepare for what is factually unknowable: the future. Within the boundaries of this 'playground' the chaos seems controllable for a moment; even if only for the duration of the exercise. Hofman has now compiled these pictures taken the the last few years from atop a cherry picker into a book."

Urban Satori catalogues photographs from Nykoh's various visits to different cities and what he encountered there. Nykoh presents each moment as a thing of beauty, a slice of lfe gone in an instant, never to be repeated in full.

"I believe that even though cities are very highly populated, there is no place where loneliness is more present... I like to focus on individuals among society... We tend to forget that each one exists, is a unique individual, among the crowd!" Nykoh

"Savage, Dixie, Slaughterville is a body of work shot in NYC, Oregon, and Windsor, Ontario over the spring and summer of 2011. It is comprised of portraits and observations that in three parts touch on sexuality, loss, and redemption."

"Midwest is a collection of medium format photographs taken by Tom Cops, whilst touring America with Minnesotan blues musician Charlie Parr, who has written a foreword to the book. During the tour, Tom attempted to photograph everyone he met, and the places they passed through, looking for odd details in grand old living ghost-towns like Butte, Montana and Lusk, Wyoming."

“An unexpected encounter on the Internet with someone on the other side of the world. The concentration of a puppet maker in his workshop. The poems that Dutch writer Jo Landheer wrote in the nineteen twenties. These are just some of the elements that photographer Marco van Duyvendijk brings together in the new photo book of his own design, Watch the Weather Change. In his work, Marco van Duyvendijk is increasingly on the lookout for a form of visual poetry - a search for the gray area between documentary photography and storytelling.”

"This book is the third book of a project persued since three years.
The first year (2009) 'Paris Strasbourg' : two photographers, two separate towns. During one month one photo a day is taken at a precise hour in two different places.
The second year (2010) 'P.S: Un an après' : same two photographers, same month, same hours, same two towns, sometimes in Paris sometimes in Strasbourg.
And the third year (2011) 'Et Budapest' : same two photographers, same month, same hours for each shot, but this time together giving a double vision on the same town, Budapest"

"Tightly edited from Rosenthal's 2001 series Seen and Not Seen through the 2009 series Days Between, this book contains a selection of 14 images that exemplify the artist's unique vision.
Rosenthal's eerie and surreal images capture quiet reflections of memories that often merge the autobiographical with the universal.
While dark in tone, the stunning photographs in this book capture a narrative of a haunting personal journey filled with subtle glimpses of hope and beauty."

"In his newest limited edition hand-binded book, made in collaboration with Tadas Karpavicius, Paul Paper explores alternative ways of story-telling through pictures. Small, unconnected pieces from personal diary are married with a collage of imagery."

OUR PHILOSOPHY

There is no selecting, editing and/or curating involved. If your books meet the formal criteria, it will be listed regardless of its content and our tastes.

We only list books or zines that cannot be bought via Amazon or commercial chain book stored. Also no Blurb books or MagCloud magazines, since those can be found easily via Blurb's/MagCloud's website.

We only accept announcements about existing print books or zines (strictly no fundraisers). By "zine" we mean not regularly published magazines, but rather one-time publications (which are often xeroxed/cheaply printed and stapled, thus resembling a magazine).

At the time of the listing, the book/zine has to be available (no "sold out") so people can actually order it online. No repeat announcements or "special offers" or "30% off" sale announcements.
